Roland VAD103 V-Drums Acoustic Design Electronic Drum Kit

What we say:

At A Glance:

The Roland VAD103 is the introduction to Roland's VAD Series. With a wealth of professional features like the shallow depth snare and toms, a free floating hihat and fully circular cymbals, the VAD103 will please drummers who need the authentic feel of an acoustic drum kit with a variety of sounds and controllable volume.

Features We Love:

Compact Shallow-Depth Design

The VAD103 looks great in any situation, thanks to its acoustic design. The shells have been designed to look the part, while being more shallow than the other VAD series kits. This means the kit still looks great on stage but saves on space. Perfect for home practice and intimate club gigs!

TD-07 Module

The TD-07 module is easy to operate yet offers some impressive features. The module offers 25 preset kits and 25 user customisable kits that let you make up your own kits from the 143 instrument voices. User kits can be tuned, mixed and have effects and ambience applied to them. The module also allows you to add an extra tom or pad if you feel the need to expand the kit. Finally, TD-07 features onboard lessons that help with developing technique and integrated Bluetooth that lets you wirelessly stream sound from your phone or tablet and send MIDI data to your favourite music apps.

Realistic Feel

Roland have long been an industry leader when it comes to electronic drums. Their double-ply mesh-head pads offer a realistic and responsive playing experience. The heads are tension-adjustable, so you can play with your desired level of rebound like on an acoustic drum. The mesh itself is extremely durable and will withstand years of playing with proper technique. The VAD106 also features the VH-10 Hi-Hat, which sits on your acoustic Hi-Hat stand, providing a truly realistic Hi-Hat response.

Free Melodics Lessons

The kit comes included with access to 40 free drum lessons with Melodics. Melodics is an interactive drum tuition app for PC, Mac and iPad and offers interactive coaching across multiple styles of playing.
